  • Patent number: 11891255
    Abstract: A fluid control system in pneumatic conveying ducts of powdered or granular material, comprising: a supply source of a pressurized gas for transporting said powdered or granular material; an injection line of said gas to put said source in fluid communication with a conveying duct inside which the material is conveyed; a self-regulating pressure valve arranged on the injection line between the source and said duct; a control member of the self-regulating valve to provide a control signal to said valve representing a pressure value, said valve maintaining the gas flow supplied in said duct constant; and a flow and flow rate meter, arranged on the injection line upstream of the valve to transmit a flow and flow rate value to said control member.

  • Patent number: 11325082
    Abstract: A blower unit for pneumatic mixers, comprising: a hollow element internally defining a duct, extending between an input section and an output section, for the passage of an air flow between said sections, wherein said input section can be connected to a source of pressurised air and said output section can be connected to a manifold of a pneumatic mixer; a shutter suitable to shut off said airflow through said output section in a controlled manner; an actuator connected to the shutter and configured to regulate the position of the shutter; the hollow element has a first end portion, at said output section, that can be reversibly coupled to a corresponding end portion of the manifold and wherein the blower unit further comprises first reversible connecting means to establish a reciprocal connection between the end portions.
